There's pretty much 0 chance of it happening and it is dumb. Yeah, there's street fighter HD, but this is not the same thing. BW is a game even people with crappy computers can play. The HD version would have to offer no real advantages and be compatible with the old version.

What I wouldn't mind seeing is some new tilesets and other superficial features, but that's not happening either.

That said, even if they did make HD BW and it wasn't compatible with old BW, it might be fun for novelty value. But not for anything else, since competitive value would be in the gutter. "Hey guys I've got a great idea let's make basketball HD in which you need a gold ball and shoes to play, that way white people will dominate the sport again!" Just saying that's pretty much the only reason foreigners are 'competitive' in SC2.

Blizz wouldn't do this because it would be a retarded business decision. You don't intentionally try to split your user base

I am perfectly happy with the graphics in BW. But if an HD remake would explode in popularity I'm all for it! If SC2 and BW could coexist, and if the IP Kespa/Gretech/Blizz shit could just resolve that would be awesome.......

We could have BW GSLs
it does to blue what blue does to you

We had one or two of those and they were really badly done just like the SC2 GSLs. Tech issues, ugly sets, etc. Sometimes it was really cool and it was fun to listen to tasteless, but GSL is just so unprofessional it's sad. "SORRY GUYS THEYRE PLAYING MUSIC OVER US SO WE HAVE TO TALK REALLY LOUD AGAIN" Wooooooow. hahaha Plus pay per view BW would be the worst. At least in the BW GSLs they didn't make us pay for their incompetence.

Oh lawd, this.
I have never in my life seen such a large group of xenophobes as I have when it comes to crackas playing SC.

The mystery of life is not a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. **Hang in there STX fans!! Kal Hwaiting!**

This.

Or SC2BW + hacked version of SC2 which allows LAN. Which is still a nono.

I think if they only aimed to improve the graphics and maybe some very certain unimportant parts of the game engine then most people would approve. Everybody would buy it anyway, remember those guys that were "boycotting" Modern Warfare 2

Those people who don't play BW because of the graphics, they don't deserve it, I don't want BW to act any different or look any different.
It's perfect for me, Blizzard doesn't have to do anything!

Honestly if someone has the time to sit and scrutinize the graphics while in a game, then they aren't playing the game at a high enough level.

And I say no to BW HD because it would probably turn out to be like CS1.6->Source.
